Thank you for your visits and comments on Into the sun.
Nothing to beat the quiet and tranquility of the African bush just after sunset. I savored the moment and was tempted to capture these stark silhouettes. I adjusted lighting and contrast afterwards, that's all, no color adjustment. I hope you enjoy it too.
For a better daytime look at the Camel thorn tree (Acacia erioloba), look at my friend Harry's upload:

I can see you are having so much fun with your cam. For this shot I would've liked a focal length of about 40mm which would've given us more sky and colour to view as well as the one side of the tree not being cut out..
